    GA-T104

    But it would help if you tell us what country and if in the US, what state, what type of form you want and more

    I'm in Atlanta GA and I want to get a divorce, I don't want to do itwith a lawyer because I don't have money for it, and I want to do it myself online. That's why I'm asking if anyone knows what form I have to file out. And how to do it.

    Sorry - not that easy as filling out a form on line. Divorce is a complex process, even for what's considered a "simple" divorce. Go to your county courthouse in person and ask if they have a Pro Se desk (pro se means you are representing yourself instead of using a lawyer). Then ask them what you need to do.

    If you have assets or children with your husband or want any type of support payments you will have a hard time managing this without a lawyer.

    You can't get a divorce online. It's not like ordering a sweater!

    Well I will say in GA divorce is not that hard, if and only if both the man and women will agree on everything and both sign.

    An attorney will do it for about 1200 dollars in Atlanta if you both agree to all terms ( that would include child custody and child support)

    There are also do it yourself forms, that if you both agree on all the terms are OK ( but not if you have kids )

    But no, the clerks at the courthouse do not give out any legal info

    If you can give more info, I will tell you for a fact, that the clerks at the Fulton county court house are not going to help, They accept and stamp the paper work you present.

    No there are not "form numbers" for a divorce, it is a written motion that is filed.

    Even if both agree, you will have to include forms that show the other agrees and accepts service, you will have to also have and file at least three copies when you file.

    The judges are nice , esp if both agree, there will be one meeting where the person who files has to at least show up to. But it is not done in the courtroom, it is done in a little side room, the judge is there with a stack of divorce folders, and ahs about 10 to 20 people waiting, and calls the people one couple at a time, to come in, asks if all details are correct, lets you look at the forms, you agree, she has you sign, she signs , and then the paper she signs gets filed again at the clerks office on the 2nd floor.


    So give more info, kids, any property division issue, do you know where the other party is ? Will they sign and agree to the divorce ?

    Perhaps not all counties offer it but in Illinois, I work in 5 counties and all five do have pro se services. Some are only open certain hours or days. They don't give legal advice but will inform people of the legal process and documents and formats. I think it's a common, though probably not universal, resources.

    No fulton county does not have that, I do have a "legal aid" department in Fulton county and they will offer some help, but you will have to be very low income and they have a long waiting list.

    They are not located in the courthouse,

    Thanks for the answers but like Chuck just ask I'm going to answer to that. We do not have any children's non even any property (nothing involve). We are just married and I do not know what part of Hollywood he is on right now so I do not know were is he since he left me. But I do know were his parents leaves. So now what can I do to get that divorce? And how much is it going to coast?
